UAE and Westerners.......???????????

Hello there, Asalam Alakum

I am very sorry for what you are going through. The behaviour you have been subjected to is shameful. Ignorance is rampant in all parts of the world and unfortunately most people do not recognize the harm they create with words. However, these ignorant people from all over the globe are merely a loud, obnoxious minority. Many good people with better spirits abound, so please stay positive and look for more of those.

I am a Western woman who has lived in various Islamic countries for many years. I can tell you that when I am in Canada (my homeland) I often am in the position where I have to defend my Muslim friends and colleagues. At the same time, when I am overseas I am often defending my Western background as well (not necessarily limited to Arab countries as I have lived in China and several other places as well). Political events impact us regardless of our personal beliefs.

I can also state that I have met and become friends with some of the most wonderful people from my experiences internationally, including the various Islamic countries where I have been welcomed. Anyone who has ever experienced Arab graciousness understands what I am saying. It is second to none and I have never felt such friendliness.

Anyone who opens their minds to another culture, religion or experience will hopefully find themselves shifting preconceived, socialized notions, Westerns, Arabs, etc...

ma salamma, my friend.

What are you talking about? Malaysia is the country with the highst Muslim population and a hot holiday destination for Westerners. Same with Turkey, Egypt, Oman or Morroc just to name a few. Therefor your observetion isn't correct.

Why Dubai? Dubai has some exorbitant and people may have visited the other places already. Dubai is also a very save place and has to offer a whole lot. Who wants to take a family to countries where terror acts take place? Where Talibans are in controll or to a warzone?

Some kids may have called you a terrorist because they just don't know better. Can you please tell me why many Pakistanis (our cab drivers) think that Western women are worthless and don't need to be treated with respect? That makes me furious.

I guess you are so furious that you can't think straight:))

You wrote: "Makes me wanna kick all the hypocrites outta the country!!!!" Kicking whom out of which country? The country where you live as a foreigner? Just think about for a minute.

You wrote: "First thought that came to my mind was hyprocrite! you call me a terrorist then go to arab countries." Where are the most terror acts taking place these days? Right, in Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan. None of these countries are Arab countries.

Btw: Please don't die. Just get over it.

many people from around the world come to UAE , not just westerners. Arabs /Asians /Africans from other countries also visit a lot and own property or businesses in UAE.

And it is not true that westerners are "so open minded towards UAE" , except the ones that have been to UAE or happen to be well cultured about the world, most of them only have the negative publicity to base their opinions on. Also unfortunately some Arabs and others are part of the problem.

i may not understand fully what u r going thru , but for u to know the reality here may be i would suggest u should visit here and see ur urself.

may be u will like to stay here permanently .

relax pls... yahan par sirf muslims nahe balkay jews bhe hain..u will find then easliy here... this country doesnt care who enter or who exit...they want this place to be safe..u will never see ppl fighting here on religion..and if there is then simply black list... deported... may be this is the reason

aur yaar USA ko kya kehtay ho.. who in this whle world is creating fight...?? definitly USA.. usa just want to rule teh world .. you will never see kids growing up in pakistan becoming terrorist... kids born and brought up in usa, uk..basicly europian contries are the one who are involved in such acts... and mind it these kids will never call them self pakistanis.. they call them self brits or americans...

UAE dont give any nationality due to such reasons as u will never find any uae national involved in such acts and uae will never want this to happen

lol been there just say like am i terrorizing you ? or do you really want to piss me off ? if they say yes then just call someone and say random **** in arabic and the add their names into the conversation and look at them and smile.
